The Chicago Shoe Boycott.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE boot and shoe assem-
blies, Knights of Labor, find that several hun
dred shoemakers are out of employment. They
claim that this is caused by the action of the
leading Chicago manufacturers in discharging
union men who refused to accept reduced wages
and that the firms have not lived up to their
pledge made to the State executive committee
some months ago. which was that no work then
done by free laborers should go into the hands Of
convicts The shoemakers last night decided to
bring the matter before District Assembly "a to-
night and thus secure a renewal of the boycott
against SELF, Schwab & Co., c. Fl. Fargo & Co.,
c. NJ Henderson & Co.. nj. D. Wells & Co. and
Phelps, Dodge & Palmer. When the manager
at c. H. Fargo e Co.'S establishment was talked
to. to-day. he said that the number of idle shoe
makers greatly overstated. He would ex-
press no idea to the effect of the threatened
boycott on their business, but did express a de-
sire that the newspapers would be still and let

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The annual meeting
of the congregation of the First Presbyterian
Church. of which Mrs. Cleveland is a member.
was held here this evening. There was a full
attendance. hut Mrs Cleveland, who has shown
some in erest in church work, was not present,
which was partially attributed to the fact that
the President was not able to accompany her.

Of the congregation. an elder presided. Treas

that during 1856 the increase in receipts over the
former year was above $500, which largely rep
resen.s the contributions of the curious crowd
that has weekly assembled at the
church to see the President and
his bride. During the year 1000 was
spent in improving and adjoining the edifce. A
new tile floor was laid in the vestibu)e, and the
woodwork of the stairway was painted. new

that handsome amount will thus be gathered
for the pastor who married the President. This
is an innovation which. it is believed, will be
more satisfactory than the ordinary method Of
raising pastors salary in order to aid him. The
officers OF the congregation were re- elected, with
Senator Mcmillan as president. Altogether, the
Presidents church can be said to be prospering.

confirmation by the Senate. In communica-
ton drawn up to be presented to the Senate.
Mr.. Randolph says: '.The trustees of the Sol
diers' Home at Quincy, by their proceedings,
have shown themselves to be incompetent, mat
tentive or worse. Their bad management has
already damaged the institution to the extent
of several thousand dollars, and unless a radical
change 10 made the institution will soon become
public scandal. In awarding contracts their
action was so manifestly unfair as to attract
public attention and condemnation. The work
of construction and preparation for occupancy,
now going on, s of such inferior character
and in such direct violation of the contracts as
to perpetrate a fraud upon the State and per-
manent injury upon the institution. The Senate
of Illinois should not confirm the appoin tment
of these trustees without first ordering inves-
tieation, and should committee be appointed
with proper powers to make such an investiga-
ton, hold myself ready to make good the above
charges" The subject has more than ordinary
interest at this time, as the Governor in his mes
sage recommended expenditures in behalf of the
home of $500. 600
